Pampelmoose is a music and MP3 web site covering the eclectic independent music scene. We stay clear of major labels and their artists to avoid having the Web Sheriff gallop through our offices. We are indie at heart so we support all things indie – in all its shapes and forms.
Dave walloped the bass strings and is a founding member of the highly influential, post-punk band, Gang of Four. With his business partner, Ned Failing, he started Pampelmoose in 2005. We love music and we love the way the internet leveled the playing field for all artists.
Josh Kneedler is a highly experienced interactive designer. He began working in online media in 1997 at the birth of the interactive world, a world we now take for granted, one that has become as common as the utilities we use at home. His skills consist of design, programming, and creative direction. It’s an eclectic mix, but one that is vital to pursuing new ventures where traditional broadcast media rules do not apply. Josh understands that music artists no longer need traditional record labels. A consumer in Japan may never have heard of our local Northwest music scene so local bands need a different way to promote their independently produced CDs. Josh has the necessary skills and experience that highlight innovation over imitation to tackle contemporary challenges in the world of interactive programming, design and creative marketing. Some of Josh’s work can be seen on his web site: http://www.joshkneedler.net
On Monday, when I posted this beautiful video of the song ‘Au Port’ by Camille, I asked for people to send me any information they had about the singer. Tony Match, a composer and music producer, left a comment telling me that Camille recently received a French version of a Grammy and that her album [...]
You know when the sun’s out and the river’s like glass at 6AM the guys across the hall here at Moose headquarters, Nemo Design, whip out their boat and go wakeboarding. Some are better than others as this video shows.
Here’s the boat, I kid you not:
There’s been much online chatter about the so called “iPod killer” coming out of Microsoft. The folks over at Engadget have posted what they think they may or may not know about this new device known as Zune.

Browsing some of my favorite blogs this morning I found this video of the song “Au Port” by Camille over at S/FJ. It’s a beautiful song on top of a wonderfully spare rhythm section, the bass is especially sinuous and when it’s not there the hole it leaves is massive. If anyone has more information [...]
23 Skidoo, aren’t they cute?
Putting together my weekly podcast has meant quite a bit of work as I transfer some obscure artists’ work from vinyl to MP3. My good friend Marcus Estes over at Tables Turned has been a great help as we mash the sonics together using an app called Audacity for the conversion. [...]
So it hit 96ºF today as judged by the folks over at Weather.com, but for a while I was in the cool (as in cold) confines of the Oregon Convention Centre debuting as a speaker for the annual Webvisions Conference. Only afterwards did I realize that this was a first for me as all of [...]
oh yes, that’s right!
This just in from Josh Spear Remember that hot mashup The Grey Album by DJ Dangermouse which featured Jay-Z vocals over Beatles tunes? In an ironic twist, the DJ duo who go by the name Sound Advice, have chopped and screwed Gnarls Barkley tracks together with the lyrics of the Notorious B.I.G. [...]
Summer in Portland is always fine, although I’m battening down the hatches for this weekend’s projected 100+ degree weather. Thursday night had some very eclectic musical/media moments; a parking lot party over at the Willamette Week, an interesting moment in politics with grandpa Potter hosting the PDX Pop Now! launch party of sorts over at [...]
